Rare peek of grand old Duchess

Date published: 18 August 2009


Another Scarborough Flyer trip to the East coast through Greenfield at the weekend brought a rare glimpse of a steam train shortly to be taken out of service.

The 46233 Duchess of Sutherland, built in 1938, chugged through the village on its way from Crewe to Scarborough, on a series of four sell-out nostalgic seaside journeys.

This Friday the 6201 Princess Elizabeth will be pulling the train.
